Verse 4

⁴At the end of four ages the collections of what is heard are swallowed by time; the sages see them by austerity, and from them comes the lasting dharma. ⁵Then the Manus, told to do it by Hari and setting themselves to it, make dharma walk the earth on its four feet, king, each in his own time. ⁶The guardians of creatures guard, each with his own share, until the end; and so do the gods who eat their share of the sacrifice, and those who go along with them there. ⁷Indra, enjoying the great fortune of the three worlds that the Bhagavan gave him, guards the three worlds and rains upon the world as much as is wanted.
